That kid can play, ranking or not. 12 points in a win over Team Melo, with 8 rebounds. 2-5 from 3, 4-4 from the line. I didn't see it but looks like he had a nice all-around game. Wynston Tabbs appears to have a green light for Team Melo. 3-10 from the perimeter. Still wound up with 20 points. There are kids with SLU offers all over this event.

ACE Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 We can be very selective with our last scholarship. Any good local options we should be prioritizing? It seems the best options are out of town. From a position standpoint, there don't appear to be many glaring needs on our roster, but I would like to land a sharpshooter at the 2 or 3.

Joe Reece from Vashon is a nice shooter with length. Has a lot to work on still, but he's an intriguing option for that spot. Hellems from Chaminade was looking like a good wing shooter early last HS season but his shot really sputtered down the stretch. He led BBE in scoring yesterday in day 1 of the Peach Jam, so maybe his scoring swagger is returning. Karrington Davis is a pretty consistent shooter. As for local shooters, though, that might be it for this class. We've offered some good shooters from elsewhere: Jared Rhoden, Wynston Tabbs, Alex Rivera, and several other guys are pretty good from the perimeter.

I'm pretty happy that we've gotten the top local guy in each of the last 2 classes. Don't really care if the last schollie is a local.

In addition to landing top local players, this staff has also shown the ability to get quality talent outside the area - that is where our best options appear with this last scholarship.

Hellems went 1-5 from three yesterday, and I think I heard somewhere that he did a great job attacking the hoop, so I don't know if the scoring outburst was due to a rediscovery of his shooting form, or something else. Also, just wanted to point out that the Ohio-based team Gordon beat has two Michigan State commits, a Notre Dame commit, and another guy that is moving up the rankings (a '19 recruit who we have offered, according to VC). Also also, want to point out that I referenced a couple of '19 players in this thread on accident earlier (e.g., Hyatt). Sorry about that.

He finished 4-7 from 3, 10-17 overall from the field, 5-6 from the line, and had 29 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. Thatch had another solid game. 11 points, 4-10 from the field, 2-3 from deep (including an airball), 1-2 from the line, with 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.

RiseAndGrind Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm pretty conflicted on Hellems. Seems like some days he's great and others he disappears. I'll defer to the experts on him being a Billiken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zink Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thatch really seems like a good guy to have around. A total bulldog who does a bit of everything. Also a pretty smart kid, from what I hear. Have to think other recruits will see him as a guy they'd like to play with. Hellems seems like a solid option. Plenty of long, lanky guys are late bloomers as they need to grow into their body. I'd love to see him at Chaifetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Thatch as a complimentary player added to this roster, really like what he brings to the table (early on as he could certainly develop into more than a complimentary player). Not sure about all of what you posted about him not knowing anything about him beyond what I have seen on the court. Not sure anyone would call Hellems a late bloomer or many of those things, have you seen him play over the years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 'late bloomer' might not have been the right term...maybe 'inconsistent' is more accurate. Just pointing out that it's not unusual for lanky wings to take some time to put it all together. He's always been an intriguing talent because of his size and the flashes of skill, but he seems to not be as good as other guys at consistently hitting his top-level. He may have been on people's radars from day one at Chaminade, but that has been mostly based on potential, not production. It looks like he's shifting more to the latter with these showings against strong competition. Does that make a touch more sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen him since his freshman year at Chaminade, still not sure what to make of him, so that certainly all makes sense. He has a lot of skill for his size, but doesn't seem to always demonstrate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 From what I hear, Thatch reminds me of Femi John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hellems is playing really well again tonight. When he is making shots from the perimeter he is a really nice player. I think he may find some new offers soon. Bradley Beal Elite plays really good team basketball. Thatch is having a nice game again tonight as well, not sure what his numbers will look like, but having a nice game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the stats, but has to have close to that. Kid is playing at a really high level right now. Kind of playing as the 3, looks really good. The announcer said he has to be the MVP of the group. I am thinking he has earned himself a number of offers this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
